Better them than me.

I have the impression that BM is a harmless-to-the-state way for people to burn off creative energy that might otherwise go into transforming society for the better. What if they started building shelters for the homeless instead? Now *that* would be a threat to the real estate racket. Or founding coops or holding be-ins or feeding the homeless, an activity now criminalized in many US jurisdictions..? All are a threat to the money power. But BM is not. I wouldn't be surprised if the CIA tacitly encourages it.

I have some old pals that do Burning man. I mostly don't give them shit about it because it just makes them so happy. So I figure fuck it. I just Leave'em alone.

However of course yeah what total selfish white boy oblivious wasteful annoying obscene display, and esp. now. This should be a fucking federal crime with being morphed into a black person,...a very poor one, and none of the fashionable mixed-race light brown shit. sentenced to be black for fucking life. Poor no nothing from their rich lives. They're morphed then dumped in the worse available ghetto. This would be a uniquely American, and rightful punishment.

Am I getting through here.

Folks from a culture that can build, and then burn down for fun dwellings worth hundreds of thousands, and in several cases millions of dollars. All for fun while over one quarter of their follow Americans are in the deepest poverty. That and the 3/4 of the rest are in terror of falling into that poverty. Well minus a few in the upper 10%.

Fifty Millions+,...that's 50,000,000 Americans would give anything to live in any of these constructions which will be burned for fun as the leisure class literally drinks champagne smokes the best weed, and fucks to the holocaust the burning off of their excess wealth.

Then get in, some of them, get in their private jets that land right there,...they do, and jet off to some other party.

One day there will be trials with judgments without mercy,...not a touch not a drop. None.

Right! It's a long time since that event was anything like a Temporary Autonomous Zone. Now it's just another fucking corporation. I think I want to cheer for that guy who a few years ago burned down the Man ahead of schedule. Quite a cock-up - very embarrassing! I wonder what a private jet would look like as an unscheduled incendiary display? Lots of kerosene fuel in those babies.

Trials, and vicious ironic punishments all 'round!

My compassion these days is on serious pause.

When I get to them pearly gates my public defender will get me off for obvious cause.

Funny you should mention that. These days I'm feeling seriously pissed off. Freedom of expression is a bitter joke; you can no more say what you think or feel than if we were living in the Soviet Union, maybe less. Liberation is long dead; stroller-pusher assimilation has triumphed utterly. We're everyone's favorite bĂȘte noire, a Rorschach blot on which to project their hateful shadow side, while they furiously pretend to oppose hate. The mendacity industry that is the major media enforces it all. Joy is utterly forbidden, and it is forbidden to talk about it. In my heart and mind, I reject with fury the society that has made me an unperson.

Meanwhile, savage capitalism has made this a poverty-stricken and awful place in which to live. The top 10 or 20 percent think everything's fine because it's fine for them; meanwhile everyone else is out of a job, without medical coverage, on the edge of homelessness, quietly going hungry. No change for the better will come; the CIA propaganda mill shut down the counterculture long ago, and there are no other credible options for change.

I've got to get out of here, if it's the last thing I ever do: like the song says.
